KIDS WITH NO DIRECTION (6.1)
[Intro] (Harmonica intro, slow and hazy, then a light, rhythmic guitar strum) Sunrise, yeah, that's where it started A promise whispered, two hearts uncharted [Verse 1] We lit up at sunrise, said we'd never drift apart Two kids with shaky hands and a fire in the heart Rolling through the gray like we were chasing neon skies Laughing at the world with red eyes and alibis [Chorus] Stoners for life, yeah, that's what we became Through the smoke and the laughter, we whispered each other's name Found our own kind of church, our own kind of prayer With a little bit of green, we left every worry right there [Verse 2] Back when the rent was late and the fridge was mostly air We had a couch, a lighter, and a blanket, plus a prayer You'd pass the smoke to me and we'd forget the broken days Stoners for life, yeah, we learned a better way [Verse 3] At the corner store at midnight, buying chips and cola Told the clerk "we're good," but our eyes told him we were stoned already, brotha Every little hassle turned to dust in the wind When the green came out, the whole night bent [Verse 4] We were kids with no direction, but the vibe was always clear A little cloud of peace could calm the panic, calm the fear Neighbors said we were lost, said we'd never amount But we were building our own heaven in the parking lot out back, no doubt [Verse 5] We watched the seasons change through a rolling paper flame Summers felt like heaven, winters all the same If the world came crashing, we were halfway gone Still singing out loud to the songs we bummed along [Verse 6] Met a girl named Trouble, she was sweet and smelled like pine She said, "If you got the herb, then you got a good time" We passed around the peace, let the night go slow Found out love and kush can help the whole thing grow [Verse 7] Old man on the stoop said, "Boy, don't waste your youth" I said, "Sir, we're just searching for a softer kind of truth" He laughed and took a hit, then he coughed and tipped his cap Said, "Maybe y'all ain't lost if you keep bringing people back" [Verse 8] Every busted alley, every rooftop, every park We were painting little galaxies in the dark With a little leaf and lighter, we could make the sorrow flee Stoners for life, that's the family [Verse 9] Police lights flashed blue, but we just kept it cool Sat there grinning like some idiots skipping school They asked us what we were doing, we said "Just breathing in the night" And somehow that was honest, somehow that felt right [Verse 10] Years went by, our circle grew, our hair got long and wild Still the same old misfits with the same old smile Now we got jobs and bills, but the ritual remains A little puff before the storm to wash away the pain [Verse 11] On the porch at sunset, passing time and passing smoke Talking about the old days, laughing at the jokes We lost a few to chaos, lost a few to pride But the ones who stayed together still got fire inside [Verse 12] My brother learned to cook while the record player spun Said the herb made dinner taste like victory and fun My sister grew a garden with a little green thumb Every seed she planted made the whole block hum [Verse 14] At the beach at midnight, we watched the moon bloom bright Shared a blunt and a blanket and a handful of light Waves kept on rolling like the years we let go And the smoke rose up slow, like a dream in the show [Verse 15] When the world got heavy and the news got loud We made a little sanctuary in the middle of the crowd One spark, one breath, one moment to unwind A stoner life forever, leaving pressure far behind [Verse 16] [Verse 17] Now the kids ask questions, why we still keep the flame We just smile and tell them it's not really about the name It's about the nights we survived and the love we found within And the quiet little freedom every puff can bring in [Verse 19] From the basement sessions to the rooftop skies We learned how to disappear without ever saying goodbye When the pressure tried to break us, we just laughed and lit one more Found a softer kind of living knocking at the door [Verse 20] Every Friday night reunion, every lazy Sunday dawn A circle full of legends with the TV barely on Someone's always rolling, someone's always got the beat And the whole damn room is swaying in a warm and smoky heat [Verse 21] Even when we're older, walking slower down the block We still carry little lighters and we still love to talk About the time we got the munchies and the moon looked like a peach About the way a simple puff can put a soul back in reach [Verse 22] [Outro] (Harmonica returns, fading out slowly with guitar) Sharin' a laugh, sharin' a light Still chasing that sunrise, making everything right. Yeah, we lit up at sunrise, said we'd never drift apart. Still got that fire, still got that heart. (Music fades to silence)
